Calculate the volume in liters of 0.545 M KOH necessary to titrate 0.0113 moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl, to a phenolphthalein end-point. Report the answer with three significant figures.
Petanoic (or valeric) acid is a weak organic acid with an
unpleasant odour. Like other small carboxylic acids, it is
used to make pleasant smelling esters that are used in
perfumes, cosmetics, and food additives.

Part D
In Part B, a 20.00 mL aliquot of a 0.195 mol L-1 pentanoic acid solution was titrated to its equivalence point with 19.7 mL of 0.198 mol L-
1 NaOH solution. At the equivalence point, all of the weak acid, pentanoic acid, is converted to its weak conjugate base, pentanoate. In
part A, the Ka for pentanoic acid was determined to be 1.48×10-5. What is the pH at this equivalence point?

- The chief chemist of Victory Vinegar Works, Ltd., inter- views two chemists for employment. He states, “Qual- ity control requires that our high-grade vinegar contain 5.00 ± 0.01% acetic acid by mass. How would you analyze our product to ensure that it meets this specification?" Anne Dalton says, "I would titrate a 50.00-11L sample of the vinegar with 1.000 M NaOH, using phe- nolphthalein to detect the equivalence point to within ±0.02 mL of base." Charlie Cannizzarro says, "I would use a pH meter to determine the pH to ±0.01 pH units and interface it with a computer to print out the mass percentage of acetic acid."

- 1. You will use 0.5mM PNPP, 0.2M Tris-HCl, and 1mM P; stock solutions to prepare two sets of five samples (Sets A and B), each with varying P; concentrations. The PNPP concentration for all samples in Set A will be 0.05mM; and 0.150mM for all samples in Set B. Fill out the tables below and use them to prepare your samples. Be aware of the following: • Prepare the samples directly in cuvettes. Prepare one sample at a time to minimize exposing PNPP to air. You can prepare the next sample while the current one is being measured. • Each sample before adding enzyme (i.e., the cuvette only contains PNPP, Pi, and Tris-HCI) is its own blank. In other words, you add the appropriate amounts of PNPP, Pi, and Tris- HCI to a cuvette, press "Measure Blank", then add 100μL of AP to the same cuvette, mix, and press "Measure Sample". • You must blank the instrument (before adding the enzyme) each time you prepare a new sample.

Fizzingwas observed. Most of the tablet dissolved, but there were some solid particles. By heating the mug in amicrowave for 10 second increments until the water came to the boil (approx. 3x), all of the solid particlesdissolved. The solution was left to cool to room temperature and then placed in a fridge and NOTHINGHAPPENED. Try this yourself if you can spare two aspirin tablets, your results might look different.• Questions to ask:1. What might the fizzing bubbles be?2. Can you give a chemical explanation?3. Can you write a chemical reaction equation with aspirin reacting with something to give a gas and aspirinin another form?4. What might be the formulation (what the manufacturer mixes with aspirin in making the tablet) “trick”for aspirin to improve solubility?5. How does this compare with…arrow_forward
